EdgeStar 3.5 Cu. Ft. Outdoor Beverage Refrigerator - Stainless Steel

EdgeStar 3.5 Cu. Ft. Outdoor Beverage Refrigerator - Stainless Steel
  • Temperature Control
  • Built in or freestanding application
  • Adjustable Shelving

This refrigerator is being sold under a variety of different brand names. I actually bought a FranklinChef version from Living Direct 2 1/2 years ago. Its was doing a great job but stopped working fairly suddenly. The problem is that almost no one will service the fridge becasue parts aren't available for Franklin Chef--which went bankrupt shortly after I bought the fridge. One place said they would use equivalents but a reputable place said that it's important to use exactly the right part, not just some generic knock off.

When I asked a number of repair services whether they service Edgestar they said they didn't either.

So, if you buy this keep in mind that you probably aren't going to be able to get it repaired.

It's interesting that Edgestar is owned by, and only sold by, CompactAppliance which is part of Living Direct. If you are considering buying a the New Leaf Service Pro warranty offered by Compactappliance and Amazon, note that New Leaf was only started in Sept 2012 (It is also based in Texas).
